Range is the main EV figure of merit right now (other than: “is it a Tesla” for some reason), there really isn’t much risk of that happening.

Because Tesla holds the only reliable charging Network along with their own proprietary cable. They've spent the last 15 plus years building that out.

Since the introduction of Model 3 Tesla uses CCS2 in Europe, like everyone else. (Many supercharger stalls have two cables so that the older Model S and X can also charge since they still have the Tesla proprietary port)
